Dictating into your recorder

You can start dictating once you have trained Dragon NaturallySpeaking to 
recognize your recorded speech.

When you dictate into your recorder, you should follow the same guidelines you use 
when talking directly to the computer.

Here are some additional tips for getting good results:

■

If you talk directly into a built-in microphone, always hold your recorder at the 
same distance from your mouth. Some users report that it is easier to rest the 
recorder on their jaw for the most consistent results. Be sure to hold the recorder 
at the same distance you used when you dictated the training text.

■

Don’t change the recording volume setting on your recorder (if it has one). Keep 
the same setting you used during training. 

■

For a better quality recording, consider connecting your headset microphone to 
your recorder, rather than talking into the built-in microphone. Most recorders 
include connection for an external microphone a mike-in connection.

When you are dictating into a recorder, most of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice 
commands cannot be used effectively because they require that you see the results 
on a computer screen. The restricted command set, however, can be used without 
visual feedback when you are dictating into your recorder. These are the commands 
in the restricted command set:

■

New Paragraph

■

New Line

■

Tab Key

■

Cap [word] or Cap Next [word]

■

All Caps [word]

■

No Caps [word]
